I don't have any disagreement in this.  And I am not for continuing mediawiki
or any software in any older unicode versions. Yes, I had disagreement on UTC's
 decision. But that is irrelevant now. I want to support new version of unicode
eveywhere. I have asked the designers of the font to update to new
versions.They were not ready and they had disagreement with UTC's decision.
Recently they told me that they are not for sticking in 5.0  and want to move
forward. New versions of the fonts will be released.. Not only with the
characters in question, but also supporting new characters in version of
Unicode. I don't think UTC will take any decision on equivalence. Till then I
wanted to keep the two fonts Meera and Raghumalayalam as non default fonts. But
to add them, I have to use the character conversion. I asked Shiju many tiimes
whether I can remove them. But I did not get clear answer. But I am going to
remove them now and will add when a new version of those fonts are ready.
